PowerShellGSM installation script

Usage

Copy and paste the below one-liner into your powershell console (WIN+R, then "powershell.exe")

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bananaacid/1dc9117571967b26ceabc972009137ae/raw/install_PowerShellGSM.ps1'))

What it does

It is supposed to lead through the basic download and prep steps (of PowerShellGSM by patrix87)

1. This does run the install_PowerShellGSM.ps1 script below
2. Downloads (and asks to update) the PowerShellGSM powershell script files *1
3. Asks a few basic questions to configure the PowerShellGSM installation:
   • like where to save the server
   • what server template to use
   • what to change the passwords in the created config of the selected server template to
   • if you want to open the configuration file to be able to edit

*1 (preserves your server configs by design)

*You may skip any step in the process, to prepare a new server, a second, ... *

What it doesn't

This is not meant to configure the servers individually, nor to provide any UI to PowerShellGSM.

That means: you still have to run the C:\server\games\PowerShellGSM\launchers\yourgameserver.cmd after PowerShellGSM is installed to start installing the newly configured game server, and to launch it.

Any other configuration is as per documentation from the PowerShellGSM.

Note

Powershell 7 (pwsh.exe) has some graphical glitches after the download. To fix: download and extract, then CTRL+C, start again, and choose 'no' to not download and extract again. Powershell 5 (powershell.exe) works fine.

To run this file and get PowerShellGSM installed, paste the following into your powershell 5 (not powershell 7+ [posh.exe]):


Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://gist.githubusercontent.com/bananaacid/1dc9117571967b26ceabc972009137ae/raw/install_PowerShellGSM.ps1'))



Changes:
- 14.06.2024 added version selection for PowershellGSM
- 16.02.2024 fix for PalWorld config: parsed the replacement block (Sart-ServerProp) as well

In case you get read/write/access/permission errors, create a folder like c:\server-games and run the installation command within that directory.

Any chance this could support server clustering in Ark Ascended?

Thank you for this by the way! Works great.

Thank you for this by the way! Works great.

I don't know what is required for clustering, but PowershellGSM allows running multiple servers. If it relies on multiple instances, you might just need to duplicate the configs in PowershellGSM.
